Submission deadline for abstracts:March 1, 2017Description: »This panel invites papers that address the theme of encountering and countering rising sexual violence (broadly defined) in cities in South Asia, and analyse such phenomena through the lens of urban social transformations in the region. There has been substantial literature which explores sexual violence in rural South Asia and its relationship with honour, class, caste, politics and religious violence. The bodies of women, especially those from marginalised village communities, have been historically desecrated, hanged, stoned and severed, often to return women to their lower social and gendered strata. Over the past few decades, incidents of rape, sexual discrimination, honour killing, acid attacks and sex-related murders have rapidly increased in urban centres. Media representations, celebrity support and the use of social media to express both outrage and endorsement of violence against women, have impacted how ordinary citizens view women’s right to the city. In the context of India, these anxieties came to a head during what became known as ‘the India rape crisis’: the brutal rape and subsequent death of a young student in Delhi that led to anti-rape demonstrations in many cities (Dec 2012). As more women enter urban labour economies and educational institutions, and exercise choice in terms of marriage, modernity, consumption, sexuality, dress and employment, questions of women’s mobility become largely reconfigured to accommodate debates about new sexual vulnerabilities in the city. The latter include concerns about religio-political protection groups, which supress sexual freedom. How are notions of femininities and masculinities articulated with regards to class, caste, poverty and ethnicity in the urban context? Are the choices of women and queer communities creating new forms of urban violence? What are the structural constraints faced by ordinary women workers while negotiating hostile urban landscapes? What urban resources are accessed to contest sexual vulnerabilities? How are gendered vulnerabilities reported and represented in the media? How do urban transformations of past years impact experiences and discourses of gendered violence in South Asian cities? These are only some of the questions that the panel is keen to explore«.

Journal: Dignity: A Journal on Sexual Exploitation and Violence
Editor: Donna M. Hughes
Submission deadline:unknownDescription: »Dignity: A Journal on Sexual Exploitation and Violence is an open access, peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing original scholarly articles on topics related to sexual exploitation, violence, and slavery. The journal is a forum for research, discussion, and analysis on how these forms of violence harm the dignity and health of individuals, the integrity and security of communities, and the strength and character of nations. The journal is an arena for practitioners, advocates and service providers to report on interventions, movements and progress on healing individuals, rehabilitating communities and transforming states into actors where justice serves all people, regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, caste or religion. The journal encourages investigations and discussion of challenges to dignity and justice such as corruption, lack of rule of law, harmful cultural practices, and laws and policies that justify and institutionalize inequality, violence and exploitation. The journal is a forum to examine how individuals, civil societies and states have responded to improve human and civil rights. Dignity aims to contribute to the evidence-based knowledge and theoretical development of these topics to give people the tools to end sexual exploitation, violence, and slavery.«
